Before adjourning the institute it was
announced that q dozen more fine
melons were cached" In the cellar
and that after proper consideration il
was held to be the solemn duty Of the
teachers and visitors present 10 ex.
anime the anatomy OF the aforesaid
melons and TO test their flavor as far
as might not be inconsistent with the
laws of health which the teachers had
been studying. SO teachers and visitors
In body looked upon the melons
while they were red from rind to rind i,
but In short time, 'the melons. Oh
where were they?n The melons were
from Huffman's ranch, and they were
as fine an article as ever grew, to
which every school ms'am present will
bear testimony.
Last evening, the teachers
and halls full of visitors as.
sembled to close the institute in social
and literary entertainment. The
large attendance filled the hall 30 that
the social part was abandoned, but the
programme was still full of entertain
ment.
Several Of the pupils of the public
school sang that fresh morning song,
"Cackle, Cackle." Mr.. Codington
sang solo, "Margueite,n Miss Mary
Downey recited Better In the Morn
ing" In way that held the closest at
tention Of the audience and received
hearty applause, as in fact did every
thing on the programme, but the
thing which touched most Of the au.
dience was "The City Institute" q
paper edited by Miss Vance and Miss
Annie Howard; each teacher making
contributions.to il. The papefwas read
in three parts by Miss Howard. Miss
Merritt and Prof. Porter. 1t was
spicy and newsy and did credit to the
school ma'ains who composed it. We
quote little poem which has some 10
cal hits of q masculine tendency and
shows that the school ms'ams are in
lerested in boys, even when they are
no longer minors.
WHAT THE GIRLS SAY OF THEM.
It's Prof. Porter's genteel form,
His graceful, winning way,
That takes most OF US girls by storm,
In his lectures every day.
He wears a calculating smile,
And looks and looks and looks,
Just believe he's picked her out,
We see his little hooks.
A sunbeam, as IL were, now rests,
Upon the one We like the best,
But like the rainb palest hue,
So is the mustache oil County Clerk
Lou.
Billy Tompkins' fat, fair, baby face,
And winning smile and easy grace,
Were meant an Oscar Wilde to be-,
To wear pants buckled at the knee.
Humphrey Hood Is dandy boy, i trow,
As slender as a willow bough,
And just beneath his Grecian nose,
A timid, silky, soft down grows.
Jack Cottier tries to look so sweet.
He primps and smiles, and blows 30
neat"
But then he Is no nicer boy
Than the next door clerk, Abe Lei Roy.
AL Campbell is the next on deck,
He wears necktie round his neck
While Modesty twists his long watch
chain,
And fears they'll break his heart in
twain.
With striped pants and Jersey pants,
Lee Eisenberg dares the street to
prance;
Dave Bishop. too, is not quite sane,
Since the fair ones 10 the city came.
Major Downey, with his graceful air,
Has pleased the many maidens fair,
A magnet In his eye and tone,
But then he has one he calls bis own.
DIR. whitney's blissful eyes,
Speak love to none beneath the skies,
But still we don't feel quite forgotten.
When once we think Of the clerks at
Watson's.
or all the boys that ever grew,
Miles City has the choicest crew,
They keep the styles all up to date.
And hold the sidewalk down by
weight
After the reading OF the paper Miss
Downey recited "Roger and 1" in q
style that evinced capacity to render
difficult selections successfully and the
audience showed their appreciation Of
her effort.
Just before adjournment, Miss Rose
Collins asked the attention Of the au-
dience to the reading Of the following
resolutions, which had been adopted
by the teachers during the afternoon
session:
Resolved, That we, the teachers o
this institute, find In Prof. T. J. Por
